Unless you share the help files over a network server, the Web version
could be easier to update and distribute. You'd likely have to break
down the files into small chunks to fit the Web style. I wonder if HP is
considering Webifying any more documentation (besides HPDesk)?
 
There are signs of the Web taking over configuration for systems and
network management. Netscape server software uses Web forms (with java)
for installation and configuration that seems to work really well and
are easy to use - they do seem to have some trouble with good built-in
help, however...
